Notes

Photoprint is has ragged border edges and is dirty.; Title supplied by cataloguer; information on back of photoprint: Author Ed Bollinger returned to Arrow fifty years later of re-elect the mayor of the ghost town with several of the young men of his parish. In the blinding sun it was twenty below zero. He is reading from the diary of General Manager Ridgeway's comments regarding the weather fifty years before. Today this spot is unmarked, thanks to vandals who stole the signs his boy club erected. This is Aspen Street of Arrow.; R7100067061
